Frontline: The OJ Verdict
Frontline did an good piece on the verdict in the OJ Simpson murder trial this week. (Its the 10th anniversary.) The program did an excellent job of reviewing the prosecution, defence, media coverage, public reaction and what they revealed about the racial faultlines in American Society. (The Frontline website for the program is here. You can even watch it online.)
I didn't expressly follow the coverage at the time, but you couldn't turn on a television or pick up a newspaper then without being exposed to it. As always, Frontline did a good job on teaching me more about something I was somewhat aware of, helping me understand additional perspectives and causing me to think.
